The vacuum measurement chamber of devices in XUV range enables the verification of light materials from sodium onward by means of X-ray fluorescence analysis (RFA). Because of the radiation-absorbing properties of room air, it is normally not possible to use this method. This instrument is ideal for very demanding coating thickness measurement and material analysis tasks.
Features:
• Particularly suitable for research and development because of its low detection limits, repeatable precision, and universally upgradable measurement possibilities
• Vacuum chamber and high-performance silicon drift detector for precise measurement, even of light elements
• Automated serial testing with programmable X-, Y-, and Z-axes
• Adaptable to the demands of various materials and measurement conditions by means of exchangeable apertures and filters
Applications:
• Coating Thickness Measurement
• Layers of light elements from sodium onward on the nm scale
• Aluminum and silicon layers
Material Analysis
• Determination of the authenticity and provenance of precious stones
• General material analysis and forensics
• High-resolution trace analysis
